-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:

1. Unzip(Extract) file contents
 
2. click on the install icon(UP_AC4400CW.exe) and follow the instructions. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: You must have the 'DASH9' and 'GP38' folders in the 'TRAINSET' folder with all of their sound files intact so that
your new locomotive can use some of those sounds. If you altered these folders, you will need to reinstall Microsoft Train Simulator.  
If you want to check it, it should be here>  ../Train Simulator/Trains/TRAINSET/DASH9/SOUNDS and ..GP38/SOUNDS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAILING UNITS  VS.  LEAD UNITS
If you attempt to run a TU locomotive as the lead loco, the simulation will not load properly. That's why it has
a unique name in the activity editor (i.e., 'UP TU #5767 AC4400CW'), and the activity editor will prompt you that the consist is not drivable, upon saving.
 
*Use Lead units at the head-end of TRAFFIC trains.   
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Locomotive information can be found by clicking the 'details' tab in Train Simulator

These locomotives come with the 1024x1024 textures only.   


=============================================================================
**Bin Lighting Update**(Install this after you have installed the main set) 
  lighting for trailing units, when used as Distributive Power at the end 
  of a train
=============================================================================

When using the MSTS Bin patch, headlights on a trailing locomotive at the end of a train, will not operate when the engine is facing backward. To work around this, the Bin patch has additional light code which we have used to enable the trailing unit lights, to simulate DPU operation. That's what this update is for.


If you don't have the Bin patch installed, this lighting code will cause Train Simulator to freeze up and close.
